regarding hte dnc lists - i hope that that is for 'selling' calls
only.
thre is a LOT of legitimate (no money involved) research that
requires a statistical random sampling given the universe of
available phn numbers.
at least if ithe dnc list is for 'sales' then the only pestering
calls will be from survey/research stuff - and i heartly recommmend that
those calls be received with grace .. adn answers ..

You cannot get a "statistical random sampling" (of what?, by the way) by
telephone, because of the biases from who usually answers the phone, from
who is at home a lot, from who will or will not cooperate, and from the
demographic distribution of phone numbers.
Also by the way - who do you consider "legitimate" telephone pollsters?

I certainly don't cooperate with telephone surveys anymore. At one
point in the late 80's I ended up on somebody's "list". Everytime they
had a survey, they would call me up. Statistically, I assume they were
figuring that by hitting the same subset each time, they could more
easily correct for bias. I cooperated with this for a while. Then I
got a "farmer jack's" survey. I'm sure this one was professionally
oriented, but all of the questions were very narrowly tailored, and
almost completely irrelevant for me, as I was doing most of my shopping
at PFC at the time. I got annoyed at the assumptions that were being
made, and refused to cooperate with any more surveys.

I tend to see surveys as a way to push my agenda. That, or question the
surveyor on minutae of the questions and why they don't have an option which
I consider optimimum. ;)

I often cooperate with political surveys, but no other ones. I think I
did hang up on one that was obviously a "push poll" once.

How can answering a survey "push" your agenda, Scott? Although they
probably have a personal opinion, the surveyors can't do anything about
your minutia. If they are personally involved they might enjoy discussing
it with you, but then they are just filling out a form.

I just received my first spam at my regular e-mail address, something
about expanding a part of my male anatomy. The thing is the only one I
gave that address to lately was the "do not call" websight. Hmm...

I have a student with Cisco certification, CAEN (and multiple other) network
experience, and a strong Unix background. Can anyone help me hook him up with
some work (part or full time)?
Email me here if you have any suggestions.
